Trent Richardson ties Jim Brown’s rookie TD mark

Trent Richardson ties Jim Brown’s rookie TD mark — Rookie running back Trent Richardson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for Cleveland to tie Hall of Famer Jim Brown’s franchise record of touchdown runs by a rookie with nine. The young-and-improved Browns enjoyed a 23-point margin of victory, their largest since 2003 — a significant accomplishment for a franchise with 11 double-digit loss seasons since 1999. Richardson’s second TD early in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 27-7 lead and finally put away the Chiefs (2-11), who a week ago were able to pull together and win at home over Carolina, less than one day after Belcher’s unspeakable act.
